Java SE (Java Platform, Standard Edition)

hi,

so, I'm trying to sign a JAR file connected to an applet.

I got to creating the keystore and had a "where do you want to store it? and what do you want to call it?" messages.

I saved it as '.keystore' and was warned by the system that files beginning with '.' are invisible.

I clicked ok (thinking the compiler should be able to 'see' it) and now whenever I try to sign anything the Terminal tells me:

jarsigner error: java.lang.RuntimeException: keystore load: /Users/spikenigma/.keystore (No such file or directory)

It doesn't matter how many other keystores I create, it looks for it in said directory and throws up an error.

I've tried everything

HELP
